michelle obama gave a brilliant speech. she proved what an effective surrogate she is on behalf of her husband. it was an incredibly emotional speech. there was no policy. it was about i love my husband. you can trust my husband. i think clinton will lay out the policy tonight although i think it will be difficult. clinton had many substantial differences in his term with the programs that president obama has laid out thus far. i think we need to think about this in the context of what happened. small business failure rate at a 40-year high. structural unemployment at an all-time high and, by the way, the world economic forum today dropped us from number one in january 2009 in terms of global competitiveness to number seven today. >> peter the president said he needs more time. nobody believes it. i worry we'll see more spending, taxing, regulating and that mr. obama is not going to change his stripes. >> two things. number one, president obama inherited an incredible mess. we went from the clinton years to 20 million jobs
